Gut microbiota-derived tryptophan metabolite indole-3-carboxaldehyde enhances intestinal barrier function via aryl hydrocarbon receptor/AMP-activated protein kinase signaling activation [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective Intestinal inflammatory diseases significantly affect animal health, primarily by disrupting intestinal barrier function. Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (IAld), a key metabolite of tryptophan derived from gut microbiota, exhibits protective properties

Intestinal barriers to water-soluble macromolecules [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1979 Neonates of some species of mammals absorb water-soluble macromolecules from the lumen of the gut to the circulation. This is a means for providing the neonate with passive immunological protection. The accepted model for absorption of macromolecules, particularly immunoglobulin G (IgG), has at least three phases: adherence of the macromolecule to the ...
